It’s a lovely piece, and I have none that are that clear. I like the little raspberry stripes, too. I thought the geode was too good to pass up. I’d like to get a white one someday, but it usually seems like a battle on them.

I used to work sitting on an old battered sofa that Mum didn’t mind me sticking needles in while I was working. Good luck with the project. It does sound like it’ll be pretty when it’s done.
